The Beatles - A Collection of Beatles Oldies
84

A great collection of Beatles oldies... I guess it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing
100

How can 1 song have the best drum intro AND best guitar intro at once?

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
100

Surely the greatest debut song of all time.

80

Surprisingly great electropop. Genuinely interested to hear more like this

Michael Kiwanuka - Small Changes
79

It would be safe to call Small Changes a scaled-down version of KIWANUKA. The album feels like a quieter, more personal companion to its predecessor, trading grand arrangements for a smaller, more intimate sound. Most of the tracks are understated and reflective, though there are a couple of nods to the cinematic style of KIWANUKA.

As always, Kiwanuka’s songwriting is excellent, with melodies that feel heartfelt. The lyrics are thoughtful and reflective, and the production, while ... read more

Architects - Seeing Red
70

Some corny lyrics here and there but a decent vibe

Architects - Whiplash
80

Too compressed but a decent track

YOSHIZAWA - The round table
73

Jazzy and very noisy post rock. A strong debut EP. I'm interested to see how they can develop this sound further.

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
88

Listening to this album is a bit of an endurance test at 105 minutes in length. With that said, it's 100% worth listening to. Whilst I think some of the songs overstay their welcome a little bit, the overall quality is so extremely high that it didn't surprise me that SITKOL has gained the reputation it has. Wonder really was on top form here.

First of October - Round 6
70

It's great to see the duo back again in full form. Amazing work from both Rob and Andrew, culminating in what surely has to be their most well-rounded album in a while

Poppy - EAT (NXT Original Soundtrack)
81

There's a raw (no pun intended) feel to this album that I really like.

100

Absolutely amazing deconstructed club vibes. Those drums at the start gave me some heavy SOPHIE vibes, but twigs' vocal delivery made the track her own.

Yves - I Did
74

A solid improvement over her last EP, Yves is taking some strides this year. Whilst her debut lacked something special, there are further glimpses of something great here. We need to hear more songs live Viola and Hashtag on future releases.

Poppy - Negative Spaces
83

Poppy's 6th album is a very strong and diverse offering packed to the brim with catchy vocals and super heavy moments. I was truly blown away by some of the heaviest moments in this album and they really work well in juxtaposition with tracks like "crystalized". She's a fascinating artist to listen to.

Heart - Little Queen
80

An absolutely amazing mixture of hard rock and folk rock culminating in a really interesting album that couldn't have come out at any other time aside from the 1970s, and I mean that in the best way.

John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Double Fantasy
74

Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this album. I'm a big Beatles fan but have never done a dive into much of their post-Beatles work.

Yoko especially has been devisive for me, with some true peaks and troughs in her image as an Avant-garde multimedia artist.

But Double Fantasy is great. Sure, it doesn't have the peaks that I hoped for, but it also doesn't have the lows I dreaded. It's truly good, with some truly great elements scattered throughout. Give it ... read more

72

Heavy, and full of despair. It's not quite on that top tier, but it's still a great listen.

Joy Division - Closer
82

"Closer" is a key album in post-punk. The later tracks, like "The Eternal" and "Twenty Four Hours," are especially strong. It's not perfect, but it helped shape the 80s music scene.

Man/Woman/Chainsaw - Eazy Peazy
68

Eazy Peazy is a pretty decent debut EP that delves into various post-punk and alternative rock styles. Man/Woman/Chainsaw draw from a wide range of influences, achieving mixed success across the tracks. In a longer effort, I'd like to see more in the same style of the last 3 tracks.

tomcbumpz - GOOD LISTENER
70

Weirdly feels like the perfect music to back the life of a little leaf floating along a calming stream.

"@hypermusic73 I never said it's an issue, it's just very safe for them, and it's the only thing that makes the song not just incredibly generic. Unlike AHIYH, there's nothing else that makes this song stand out to the. AHIYH has some great harsher vocals, a catchy riff, and a cool build up. For me, this song hasn't got any of that."
